Lewis Hamilton is going to equal a record of Michael Schumacher
The British driver will be competing in his eleventh season with Mercedes. He joins Michael Schumacher with the highest number of seasons with the same team.
Records are made to be broken. And Lewis Hamilton seems to have understood it well. The Briton, since his arrival in the sport, has been writing the history books, even though Max Verstappen is starting to replace him with his own surname.
However, Max Verstappen will have to wait a little longer to break the next record. Starting from the opening Grand Prix in Bahrain, Lewis Hamilton will officially begin his eleventh season with Mercedes. It will be a longevity record with the same team, which he will share with Michael Schumacher. The German established his mark with Ferrari from 1996 to 2006.
The British driver remains first in the ranking for the number of Grand Prix races with the same team, with 200 races compared to 180 for the Red Baron. This record was able to be achieved more easily, with the increase in the number of events each year.
